[/quote] I would not be surprised if we find out that (they) decided to build with out heaters for cost, knowing they would have to be added later. Once it's up then we go back for more $. Some planners feel you have to crack a few eggs to bake a cake. It sucks if your the egg however. [/quote] we likes um' SCRAMBLED.. yes MORE expense, they use this M.O. all the time. Got any pics of the ripped dome of some stadium, same, OH and the NEW roof, leaks too. ;D [/quote]

The Expensive NEW Port Mann 11-lane wide suspension bridge, the widest in the world, replaces the aging Original 5-lane bridge as a major upgrade to the TransCanada Highway 1 Freeway System - Tolling began only weeks ago.
Drivers described trying to dodge terrifying icicle bombs several feet long in rush hour traffic. 1 person was knocked unconscious and several others injured.
The bridge design is unique in that all the cables cross above the main deck to the massive two support towers. Apparently the engineers forgot about the occasional snowstorms that hit the NorthWest.
The RCMP has closed the bridge in both directions INDEFINITELY while engineers assess.
